Helping our Community SMile &

opportunities to help with various dental & other charities

We were involved in many community programs in 2016 including the following:1) Louisvlle FREE DENTAL VAN2)VAD assistance program3) Dental Lifeline Program4) Wounded Warriors Program5)Marine Toys for Tots6)Smile KY!7)Spencer County Redifest

In 2016 we scaled back our Halloween CANDY BUYBACK/TREATs for our Troops program.In the 7 years the event was organized, we sent over 2500 lbs. (over 120 boxes) of Candy, Cards, and toothbrushes to our active overseas military personnel.We have been privileged to meet many new neighbors, paint some faces, eat some pies, play some games, and dunk some dentists.Many individuals have been very generous with their candy donations and we took a lot of excess unhealthy Halloween candy off of the streets;-)

This change is mostly in response to conversations I had with military dentists who described the problems of tooth decay and dental pain in areas where there was limited dental care… Candy was making the problems worse. OUCH.

In consideration of these facts, NEXT YEAR, our office will continue collecting excess Halloween candy & Cards from Kids ($1 per pound…Limit 7lbs) and, we will be sending boxes with (just a little candy) tooth brushes and oral care & cards to our troops.

We are also making a donation of $500 to the Wounded Warrior Organization.Thanks for your awesome support and understanding.Sincerely,

James Randy Ransdell, DMD, MAGDElk Creek Dental Care

"I couldn't have picked a more professional dentist. Dr. Ransdell and the staff are very attentive to me being handicapped. I just had drilling done and didn't even feel it. I've been to dentist before where it was very stressful. I never feel stress at his office."-Dan A.
